Someone here

I would somewhat agree with you if you used the word "inconsistencies" or "contradictions", not "paradox ". reality is not avoiding anything in any intentional sense. It just is, and I believe it is wholly consistent and rationally accessible, at least in part. If it weren't, reality would not be reality, and it really couldn't be anything. So I couldn't even have any perception of it. BUT ..to understand it fully requires you to become infinite to encompass it completely since it is infinite . And I asked you on my first post here that "how you would go about achieving this"? How would you become infinite?

It can understand that it can't understand. Lol Think about it ..a complete and total understanding of something which is INFINITE!! Meaning it doesn't end . Do you see any flaws in this line of reasoning?

Well ..in the quran there Is a hilarious verse that says God can't have children because he doesn't have a wife ?.. Nice story . This present moment is all that exists . Its not repeated .its totally fresh like a newborn baby . Are you aware that you are God? If not then you should definitely worship him as though he is separate from you . Don't fool yourself believe that you are God when you are actually not God-realized . That's a huge mistake . ??

Neither you will figure out the whole nor the parts . It will never be fuly understood .its an endless mystery.

I think from the Abrahamic religions..Islam has a very very coherent concept of God. : god is one and only one with no any sort of a partner, who can not die or have any human characteristics or superior to human characteristics such as being the most powerful and all-knowing. Christianity, on the other hand, says: “He’s three but one: 1+1+1=1,” “God is Jesus who is son of god who is god who created Mary,” “Jesus dead for our “sins,” while we are NOT born sinful.” It just doesn't work with me to accept such madness..this trinity fucking shit

Yup. I was so "professional " and in love with playing with mathematical equations in high school that I would literally play some music and put on my headphones while solving algebra problems. Oh the good old days . I'm now shit at math ?

I'm trying to eat all organic. I'm trying to rely on veggies and fruits .but it really doesn't satisfy my hunger like a juicy steak. Or white rice with fish or chicken soup etc . So the dilemma I'm dealing with is the need to reduce my calorie intake and eating less calorie dense foods to get rid of my belly fat while at the same time struggling with "hunger attacks " too often .

Of course I have to be full after eating ..otherwise what's the point of eating ? It's to get rid of the hunger .I'm not aware of any other purpose lol. If I eat half my plate and I feel full I should stop eating .but if I eat my whole plate and do not feel full then I need an additional plate .

I think there is a relationship between calories and satiety. The more calorie dense the food is..the less you gonna eat before you get full . And again the whole problem is I don't get full easily even if I eat giant ass meals like grilled chicken and potatoes. As far as exercises..I don't have enough energy or mood to workout because I'm busy with university projects and assignments. I will check the link you attached. Thanks .

@Thought Art I don't know . If you consider the sheer amount of information available to us even in our Internet Era is actually less 1% of the information that is still unknown in the universe. Astrophysics tells us that we only have access to 1% of the "observable universe ". And if we consider the amount of information that is not just "unknown " but" unknowable " ..then it here begins to show the limits of human mind . We think we are far advanced technologically, but in terms of understanding the whole fucking universe..we are still learning how to walk baby steps. So I'm not saying it's impossible. But it's not gonna happen in our lifetime.

How would you go about achieving this? Do you think our chimp minds have the capability to grasp infinity in all its tricky details?

I know .I already said that in OP. But as I said I struggle with constant hunger . If I eat low Carb (let's say a salad with Tuna ) I don't feel full for more than 1 hour and then I start craving high calorie foods like Pizza. Im already trying to add more fresh fruits and vegetables . I eat breakfast cereal with fruits .but it doesn't give me enough energy to last me throughout the day until lunch time . I guess my whole problem is as follows: I need to eat to low calorie foods to lose that ugly belly ..but at the same time I feel hungry on a low calorie diet .

Thanks. AI is another fascinating subject to me as well. I think it depends more on understanding how consciousness and how the brain work more than it is about math. however, The real-life applications of Mathematics are endless. We are surrounded by numbers, equations and algorithms.. especially in this age of data science, with huge data sets that can only be understood through statistical models and analysis.

Mathematics isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. But that’s ok! Personally i get an adrenaline rush by spending hours tackling a problem, the very same problem can make others to want to pull their hair out! Thankfully, I am of the former category.

Recommend to me the best book you have ever read.

What the fuck Is divine masculine?

@Razard86 you are falling into the trap of hedonism . No amount of sex or food or drugs or music or travelling or stoicalising will ever make you truly fulfilled. The truth is: We human are designed to adapt. The pleasure of winning a lottery, buying a new car, or even meeting the man or woman of our dream does not last forever. We adapt to our fulfilled desires and eventually stop finding them as desirable as they once were. As a result, in order to experience the same level of pleasure we have once attained, we now need to seek new desires with higher intensity...a greater wealth, a more luxurious car, a bigger house, and perhaps for some… a new relationship or even a new marriage. Contrary to our original intention, the pursuit of pleasure has become a vicious cycle that consumes our life in a rather undesirable way.

recently I got hold of a few novels that were so good that I had no time comparing them with famous or established writers. I liked the story and that was enough for me. So Yes ,I care about how people think of my book . That's obvious. It's a sign of success. I'm still a university student and didn't have my first job yet . So if I could make profit out of publishing my book . Who doesn't want to be recognised as a great author? Thanks Can you please explain to me how exactly to use these to promote my book? I'm a little disappointed because today, mostly all people order books from online book stores or in most cases get the book immediately from Kindle or Google Books. People read reviews on some blogs or on Goodreads or Amazon. If all sounds convincing, they go and buy the book. Also a survey of young readers showed that books by new authors are more interesting and holds fresh or unheard stories. Thus, they pick up books that they like to read over deciding their reading preference by looking the name of author or publisher. So if that's my first book ...how am I gonna promote it via Amazon ..no one is gonna want to buy it . Especially because the author(me ) is unknown. Thank you .Will check it out .

@StarStruck Look ,The most self-involved people don't know that they are self-involved, so the fact that you are asking the question is a sign of self awareness. This is an excellent start. Next, step out of the life inside your head. What is happening to those closest to you? Do you know what they just went through, accomplished, were afraid of? Find out. When you talk to them, listen. Really listen. Don't start thinking about what you are going to say next or about what you are going to be doing later. Don't frame the conversation in a way that places you at the center of it. Then, take this a concentric circle further. Are there people in your life you never think of that make your day better? The person who makes you coffee, who drives the bus that takes you into work or school, Say hello. Say thank you. Learn their names. What are their lives like, beyond that place where their existence overlaps with yours? What about those whose lives never touch yours at all? People who live in a different context or situation? Can you learn more about them, open your eyes to their world, develop empathy? Can you get involved? The more connected you are to others, the more connected you become to yourself. Everything on Earth holds something intimately revealing and is waiting for you to get closer to present itself to you. Everything out there is waiting for you. Because everything IS YOU.

@Mu_ glad you liked it .

Just take a moment to observe your thoughts. Notice that there is a gap between them .it lasts for few seconds between each thought and the next one. . There’s a space, a gap between this thought, and the arising of the next thought. With time and practice, we realize that the space, the gaps, are much bigger than we ever imagined. At first, we experience them as short breaks between thoughts. But as we pay attention, the gaps become bigger and bigger until we see that the entire background of our mind is spacious.it’s a big gap. And all the thoughts that come, however many there may be, cannot obscure the gap. In the beginning of practicing this technique , the act of noticing disrupts the act of being caught up in the moment, in a particular thought. And then we notice the next thought, and there’s a gap, then the next one, and a gap. As we keep doing this, as we keep practicing, the mind gaps keep growing. As they become larger and larger, we feel more and more relaxed. We start to have the sense that the gaps are actually much truer, much more real, than all the superficial little thoughts that bubble up and can seem so important. So the gap starts small, and as we continue paying attention to the space between thoughts, as we continue minding the gap, our meditation naturally shifts towards awareness. We see how the mind is producing thoughts, and realize that awareness of thoughts doesn’t have to take us away from being present. This is where the meditation becomes more about awareness, where mindfulness becomes awareness. Mindfulness and awareness are not separate: they work together. Each time we’re aware of something..a thought, an object etc..we become more aware of the space around it. Think about it Everything happens in space! This simple technique will show you that you are not your thoughts. That you are consciousness. The gap itself. And notice how the more you practise this technique and abide as awareness between the thoughts ..the more you become free from a lot of suffering that is basically constructed by your mental processes. And eventually you can reach enlightenment. Or the recognition of your true nature as pure spacious consciousness. Pure space . If you have any questions..ask away ?

It got nothing to do with "god ". Fuck god. I'm saying it is for your own benefit. Maybe you are not ready yet to taste the pleasure of being generous and helpful to others . Imagine the kind of love that a mother has for her children..she is ready to die from hunger to feed her kids . And this is the case with all of the animal's Kingdom. Not just humans . Trust me ..when you treat others as you treat yourself you will attract good karma .you don't have to believe in reincarnation or any kind of spiritual BS. You know something is good when it feels good .you know something is right when it feels right . How does it feel if you give charity to poor people ?

But when you realize that "others " are yourself..then charity becomes mandatory. If you thought about people as other versions of you in a different timeline..how would that change your attitude towards them ?

Philosophy in a formal sense is not necessary for a spiritual life. even so, in a less formal sense every person is their own philosopher. The moment you start to wonder about life and its meaning, you become a lover of wisdom. However, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. We can draw on the insights of the great thinkers throughout history, not only in Greek and European history, but in Chinese and Indian philosophy also. Spirituality is just philosophy on steroids. You are basically wondering about the deepest existential questions that a human can ask .

Stop being so goddam selfish. That's the whole point of spiritual practice . To love others as much as you love yourself. In fact the more you expand your consciousness and expand your identity to include every human being and every creature etc..then you feel happy about charity. In fact ,nothing gives me more happiness than feeding a hungry kitten or stuff from this ilk.
